History made. 🔥 Kumasi 🇬🇭 is finally on the map of the world’s largest hackathon, the NASA International Space Apps Challenge! 400+ cities worldwide. One global stage. A new door opens for local innovators to access NASA’s data and go beyond global nominations. 🚀 #SpaceApps

You’d think Day 1 is all about settling in, but not at #SpaceAppsKumasi Every corner buzzed with focus and purpose. Teams were locked in, sketching, building, debating That’s the kind of energy you can’t manufacture, it just happens when people care about what they’re building 🚀

⚡ Hack the future with Wikimedia! Join the 2-day Prep Launch (Oct 16–17 | 10AM UTC) — a virtual program where techies team up to learn, build & prep for the November hackathon 🚀 Register 👉 bit.ly/awmtlaunch #AWMTHackathon #OpenSource

the first version of jali ai from @jalilabs was minimal but packed – llm chat, 11 african languages translation, audio gen, research tools, diagram gen… all crammed in. few hundred users. ~70 active daily. profit over months? nope. just hosting bills + maintenance. mm had to pivot. introducing jali dot mo: > a mostly self sustaining app for african language learning + pronunciation features now: > direct speech translation (from the lingua franca ↔ twi, ga, ewe, fante, dagbani, yoruba + more) > camera-based translation > culture games (AI integration, & powered by @ghananlp) going live soon. next phase: refine. test. scale. won't spoil the fun, but let me know what you think when it drops. will be launching this under the proof of work campaign under @OFWAFRICA @wikitech_knust cc: @jalilabs @algorineinc @Wikimedia
